at great northern For this Year’s Fair—Management Has Arranged for the Best Ever While it is an acknowledged fact that all fairs conducted by the Grant Northern Indiana Fair association have been most successful, there are many plausible reasons why this year’s meeting will excell all former ones. A very important feature which will characterize the fair of this year is the |SOO stake races in 2:20 pace and 2:27 trot, which was made possible to pull oft after the meeting of the officials of the fair association of five of the neighboring counties at Van Wert some time ago. By the method introduced, horses with unusually low marks will make all of the fairs in this vicinity and the lovers of this amusement will be given a rare treat. An evidence of the result of the above stated meeting is the fact that many horses have already been entered in these respective races among which are Elctric Hal and Creo Bell, owned by Low S. Stevens, of New Castle, Indiana; Rex S„ owned by E. L. Mason, of Misha'waka; High (Tide, Cynthia Independence and Swallow, owned by T. W. Price, of Cynthiana, Kentucky; Pilot Marie and Ravenwood and Frank Willis owned by E. W. Conant, of Lovelapd, Ohio. These horses are among the very best, on the road and the fact that so many have already entered is indeed encouraging to the management of the Great Northern Fair association. Not only will the races be better and the purses larger but all other attractions will by far excell those of former years. Larger and better exhibits are loked for and with favorable weather, the Adams county people will be agreeably surprised with the progressiveness of our county fair management. None but gcod moral attractions will be permitted on the grounds, and no gambling nor anything objectionable will be tolerated and taking it in all in all it will be better this year than ever before in every respect.

The divorce case, Sadie E. Meyers vs. Harvey Meyers, was .heard by Judge Merryman Monday a. m. Mrs. Meyers was represented by C. L. Vv alters and Mr. Meyers by J. C. Moran. The plaintiff is a daughter of Adam Pease and told a story of abuse and non support. Meyers was on the stand in his own behalf and denied a part of the accusations and excused others by stating that he had been in poor health and was at times unable to earn a livlihood. Mr. Meyer’s objection seemed to be that he did not want judgment against him for support of the children. o Mrs. Lindsley and sister, Mrs. C. A. Burdg, of San Jose, Cal., arrived this afternoon from Dowagiac, Mich., and other cities where they visited. Mrs. W. M. McKee and son Paul who have been the guests of relatives at Warren.

The meeting opened at 2:00 o’clock by a sacred song, followed by devotional by Rev. L. A. Stangle of the United Brethren church of this city. This was followed by a song after which C. S. Mumma gave an interesting and instructive address on “Hindrances in Sunday School Work." The Stangle brothers then renderede a beautiful song. The session was closed by the offering and benediction. The evening session opened at 7:30 o’clock by a song. Scripture reading and a prayer followed by N. After another song, Fred Rohrer, of Berne, lectured on “Temperance” and to say his discourse was fine is putting it mildly. Rev. Stangle talked on Missions and did well. The officers for the ensuing year were elected and the result is as follows: N. Lenhart, president; Freeman Walters, vice president; C. S. Mumma. secretary and treasurer. —o — ENUMERATION COMPLETED. Shows a Decrease of Sixty-Five Children. In compliance with the law Andrew Welfley, who was engaged to enumerate children between the ages of six and twenty-one, filed his report last week, which shows a decrease of sixty-five from the number of last year. The enumeration in 1907 disclosed the fact that 1,318 children between the above stated' ages resided in Decatur, while this year there are 1,253. However. the number varies each year, while not to a great extent. There is a large number of small children that have become old enough to start to school this year and the board analcipates a large increase in the number of school children during the next term.

BRIDE TOO YOUNG Fred Watkins Taken to Richmond—Change of Venue in a Civil Suit Fred Watkins, who has been confined at the county jail several weeks as an insane patient, was taken to Richmond this morning, where he will receive treatment at the East haven asylum. Sheriff Meyer accompanied him. Marriage licenses were issued to Elmer Miller, aged twenty-three, an oil pumper from Wells county, and Bessie David, aged eighteen of this county, and to Otto D.

Bert Webb and Miss Hazel Fravcl. of Geneva, called at the county clerk's office this morning for the purpose of securing a marriage license. Their application, however, showed, that Miss Travel was less than sixteen years cf age, the limit provided by law, and the licentee was denied them. Miss Fravel’s father accompanied them and refused to believe that such a law existed until Judge Merrym m was called and explained the matter. The young lady will be sixteen in about a month and the wedding will probably occur at that time.

FOUR NEW MEMBERS Taken into Church—Pastor Will Be Installed on May Eighteenth Rev. Spetuagle, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, delivered the second of his series of sermons on “The Voyage of Life” Sunday evening. His subject on this occasion was "Setting Sail" and his discourse was one of the ablest and most interesting ever delivered in Decatur, and was heard by a large and appreciative audience, Four new members were received into the church. On next Sunday evening his subject will be “Tempest Tossed’’ and another interesting lecture may be expected. These sermons are of great merit and the public is invited to hear them. The Presbyterian congregation are anticipating with pleasure the arrival of May 18th when Rev. Spetnagle, the new minister will be installed as pastor, with appropriate services. Among the ministers who will probably take part are Revs. Masters and Fox, of Fort Wayne, and Rev. Gordon, of Van Wert and others.

CHURCH PROSPERS And is in Best Financial Condition It Has Ever Enjoyed i The annual business session of the German Reformed church was held Sunday at which time officers were elected for the ensuing year and are as follows: M Kirsch, elder; H. Sellemeyer, deacon; Fred Mutchler, trustee; Peter Kirsch, treasurer. Reports from the different committees were read, the most interesting of which was the treasurer's report, which shows that the church is is excellent financial condition, all debts having been paid and a lueat sum still in the hands of the treasurer. A very important feature of the meeting was the decision to the effect that beginning at the present time a building fund will be created which will be used either to remodel the church or build a new one. In consequence of either the German Reformed church will be modern in every respect. The congregation ocnsists of 159 confirmed members which is an increase of

twelve over the preceding year, which is indeed a creditable advancement. Rev. L. A.. Hessert, the valuable minister, has handled the reins of the church in an efficient manner and every department thereof has prospered and in fact the religious organization is among the most flourishing in our city. o— —— little girls must skidoo, too. The Officers Say They Must Observe Curfew Law. We are informed by the officers that the curfew law is still being infringed upon and again we warn all children under sixteen years of age to either be accompanied by their parents or be off the- streets before eight o’clock. However, there are but a few boys who persist in parading the streets after the stated hour, but there are several little girls who continue to walk the streets until quite late. The officers want it understood that when the curfew whistle blows the girls as well as the boys must take heed, else they get into trouble. There are two girls in particular who disobey the curfew law and they hail from highly respected families. Justice will be dealt, out to them if they do not discontinue same. oMr. and Mrs. Elton Brown and children, who visited over Sunday with Geo. Bauserman and family northeast of the city, returned to their home at Hicksville, Ohio, this morning.
